The original Jarvis (the collector) inscription reads "Indian pipe Uppo Miss." The pipe stem is carved in the shape of an animal. The snout looks too long on this for it to be a dog. Possibly a wolf, coyote or fox. Two brass tacks serve as eyes and the neck and lips are fire-decorated. There was originally some bone hair trim; a bird scalp and blue feathers still remain near the center. The stem is painted red and blue-green.

One feather dyed red is in front in the first row with three feathers dyed blue behind it in the second row against a background of the main white feathers. Handle wrapped with woven copper fabric and a woven strip of cotton. Tassels of white feathers and fur attached to end of handle.
